51. I'll go with onion rings as well

I try to avoid fast food, but when I get a combo, I'll substitute onion rings for fries whenever possible.

Frozen French fries made at home tend to come out better than frozen onion rings though.

Those blooming onion things are great too when you eat out and really want to splurge.

With "fish" it has to be "chips" though.

Probably fried chicken bc you get the heft of the chicken, along with the tastiness, and crispiness, of the fry! electric_blue68 Sep 2024 #38
